A method and system for relaying communications between a communication terminal and a server. The relay apparatus receives from the communication terminal an access request for a service to be performed by the server. The access request identifies the server and the service, designates use of an inter-server encrypted communication system, specifies performing authentication of the relay apparatus, and specifies an authentication server to issue ticket information including an identification (ID) character string that identifies the relay apparatus. The relay apparatus receives the ticket information from the authentication server. The relay apparatus, encrypts the access request and transmits the encrypted access request and the ticket information to the server. The server uses the ticket information to authenticate the relay apparatus. The relay apparatus decrypts the access reply and transmits the decrypted access reply to the communication apparatus.
